 THE SALE OF THE DERBY. The railroad committee through its chair | man, Senator Graham, submitted to the Sem ate an unfavorable report on the resolution concerning the city of New Haven and the Derby railroad. The Senate accepted the report and voted unanimously to reject the resolution. The resolution provided that no contract for the sale of the road should be valid unless the proposals for it's purchase be filed with the treasurer after at least thir- ty days advertised notice and that sealed proposals shall be filed in the same way. One of the obligations of such sale shall be that the grade crossings of the New Haven and Derby railroad at Meadow and State streets shall be abolished within five years and in such manner as the railroad commissioners shall prescribe; also that other conditions of the contract shall be advertised as may be deemed necessary to protect the city's inter- est. It also gave the city the right to make a union of it's stock and other interests with the stock and bonds of other railroad com panies which it now makes or may hereafter make terminal connections with. H. B. Harrison, H. B. Bigelow and c. R. Ingerson was the commission which was named for the sale. Senator Graham in explanation said it was the unanimous opinion of the commit tee that New Haven was large enough to mind it's own affairs and they did not see fit to interfere.
 COMMITMENT OF CHILDREN.
 Representative Connor's bill relating to the commitment of children to the orphan asylums of New Haven by the City court, unfavorably reported on by the committee and rejected by the House, passed the Sen ate, owing in great measure to the able ad- vocacy of Senator Gallagher. He offered an amendment, which was adopted. It provid- ed that no compensation should be paid to the asylums. Senator Gallagher favored in strong speech, in which he spoke of the righteousness of the measure and that the Catholics of New Haven asked no more than was fair when they wanted the little ones of their faith committed to the asylums. Sena- tors Graham and Doolittle opposed. The bill was finally passed on rising vote.
